One of the Valley’s most famous icons has a new look, and not everyone is happy about it.

Kingsburg based Sun-Maid Raisins updated the iconic Sun-Maid Girl with 3D graphics in an attempt to modernize the 90 year old, but critics say her new, tight outfit makes her look a little too sexy.

Sun-Maid says, even though her look has been updated, the design is still based on the image of Lorraine Collett, who was discovered in 1915 at her Fresno home.

what is wrong with all these people? ready to argue over a 3D character, all sun-maid is doing is trying to show the public they are staying with the times. Would you rather they look for a whole new spokes person, and possibly have to raise their price's due to the cost of a whole new campaign,and spokes person? I say let them run their own business, and stop all the arguing,besides, some of the cartoons these days shoe more than that, and nobody complains about that, so why complain now?

Fresno is so prudish. If this is sexy then I'm glad I'm not a cartoon.

Why not allow the company to decide what they want for a logo (is their market share). She is no more chesty then any other cartoon/icon out there. Whats wrong with being feminine? I will still buy the raisins because they are the best out there.

If Sun Maid wanted to make her look "healthier" then why not define her arm muscles instead of giving her implants?
